Google’s recently updated Voice Search iOS app is simply amazing as it demonstrates just how speedy Siri should be. Unfortunately, Apple’s digital secretary remains reliant on network connectivity for voice recognition. Heck, this time last year some folks were even convinced only the iPhone 4S was fast enough to run Siri. That couldn’t be farther from the truth because Google’s iOS app comes with real-time voice recognition. So, how speedy is Siri compared to Google’s refreshed app? Check out this clip by Gizmodo and meet us down in the comments. It’s a couple days old but definitely worth watching…

As you can see, Google’s iOS app blows Siri out of the water, at least when it comes to the speed of voice recognition. Apple definitely needs to get its act together and enable offline voice recognition in Siri.

Google Now is very nice and quick, but the only thing i like about siri is it’s ability to talk to you, i mean you need to be very specific to ask for something on Google Now, like when you say just weather Google Now doesn’t display anything while siri shows you the weather, i’m not asking for fancy talking like, “yo there”-“hi”-“Watcha doin?”. It’s not like i’m gonna talk to my smartphone, thats why i have friends…:)

I like siri, but it seems to Apple is improving Siri in the USA and outside it has 1/10 the functionality.

Unbelievable. Siri was the big selling point of the 4S, and to see it being blown out of the water like that is just unbelievable! Well done to Google. Siri never has much use for me here in Australia, other than setting alarms and checking the (mostly inaccurate) weather. Google Voice is so much better due to their broad databases of local business, understand you better, and faster. The only thing Siri has going for it is being integrated (native).
